The End of Men? A new beginning.

2 facts jump out from this article in the Atlantic Monthly... "Earlier this year, women became the majority of the workforce for the first time in U.S. history. And for every two men who get a college degree this year, three women will do the same."

A little quick math suggests that some roles might be changing on the home front. They already have on mine...

I hear a lot of stories, many driven by the economy, of Daddy reluctantly doing, or not doing, various forms of "woman's work" when forced to play a new role at home. Get with the program, boys! Take those skills from the workplace, apply them to home/family and help the team win! It has been a wonderful and productive time for me; I really would not change a thing. A lot of us have just been asked to play a different position on the team because things are changing, economy and otherwise.

How many times do we hear about a player who is asked to doing something that they didn't sign up for on a team and refuse to do it with a smile? What's our reaction? "BUM! He's only looking out for himself!"  Many of us have been asked to play a new position on our team. This is a great opportunity for the entire family to leverage strengths placed in different areas. Change is good. You will discover things you didn't know were there. Focus on what's important, get priorities aligned, and put a plan in place. Then, take your team to new heights while being a great role model for a new generation.

No, not the end of men, but it is a new day.  Seize it and enjoy.
